Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman is a former American basketball player, 5-time NBA champion, seven years in a row became the NBA's best rebound player. He can be safely called a basketball legend. But Rodman never limited himself to basketball. He acts in films, writes books, performs in wrestling fights. And Dennis Rodman is known to the viewer for his outrageous antics. This includes fights, and dressing up as a woman, and even a gala dinner with Kim Jong-un.

Dennis was born in Trenton, New Jersey. His father Philander Rodman, a Vietnam War veteran, left his wife and three children and moved to the Philippines. Once in an interview, Dennis admitted that his dad was extremely loving and he has 47 brothers and sisters on his father's side. By the way, the meeting between father and son took place only in 2012, at that time Dennis was already 42 years old.

The boy's mother, Shirley Rodman, worked three jobs to feed her son and two daughters. Dennis Rodman's sisters were tall, while in college, they played for the basketball team, and received scholarships for their athletic success. Thus, the girls helped the family.

But Dennis in his school years did not differ in zeal either to study or to basketball. And in comparison with the sisters, he was short. The guy wandered around the day with friends in the slums of Dallas, he was even arrested for theft - he stole a watch from a store.

Mom persuaded him to go to college, she hoped that he could play for the basketball team too. Indeed, over the last academic year, the guy has grown very elongated. Rodman was soon named the best college player. He was resourceful, well built and energetic. With a height of 201 cm, weighed 100 kg. By the way, it was not by chance that he got the nickname "The Worm" in the NBA.

The guy devoted himself to the game, but decided not to attend training sessions, so he was soon expelled. And a black streak began in Rodman's life. He began to wander - his mother drove him out. Interrupted by odd jobs. The only interest in his life was basketball, which he did constantly. So he was noticed by the trainer of Southeastern Oklahoma State University Lon Risman.

In 1983, Dennis moved to Oklahoma and began playing for the university team. For three years he gave all the best, became the leader of the team and the best player. And in 1986 the NBA Draft took place.

Rodman's name was not named in the first round of the draft, which upset the basketball player insanely, he realized that his dream of professional sports was shattered. But already in the second round Rodman was chosen by the Detroit Pistons. Thus began his career in the NBA.

Until 1993, Rodman played for the Detroit Pistons. During this time, he became a two-time winner of the NBA gold ring. He was named the best defensive player, joined the team of the best NBA players, and also participated in the All-Star Game.

In addition to his talented acting, Rodman impressed the audience with his appearance. His body was covered with tattoos, he constantly dyed his hair in different colors, did piercings. Plus, he loved to give scandalous interviews, he was inclined to outrageous acts.

In 1993, he left the Detroit Pistons, as the team began to fall apart before our eyes, and began playing for the San Antonio Spurs. Dennis Rodman's tandem with center David Robinson has become the most dangerous in the NBA in the fight under the shields. But the club's management was dissatisfied with their constant conflicts outside the court. Rodman provoked everyone all the time and said what he thought. So in 1995 he was traded for a player from the Chicago Bulls.

The 1995-1996 season for the Chicago Bulls, which Dennis now played for, was fantastic. They managed to win 72 victories in the regular championships, they became NBA champions. They repeated their success in the next two years.

Rodman, as before, played aggressively, for which he was repeatedly "awarded" with technical fouls. Dennis fought with players from other teams, and once hit the referee.

The 1997-1998 season was the last for the Chicago Bulls. Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman left the team. By this time, the basketball player was a five-time winner of the NBA gold ring.

He subsequently played for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. But these seasons did not bring him success. By this time he had already taken a great interest in cinema, wrestling and even wrote a book. In 2011, the athlete was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

The athlete's personal life is as bright as his basketball career.

In 1994, Dennis began dating Madonna. The pair turned out to be the same - his extravagance was matched by the strangeness of the singer herself. Together they did not stay long - 4 months, but during this time the couple did not leave the tabloids. After the breakup, Rodman gave an interview in which he said that the reason for the breakup was Madonna's desire to have children from him.

He also sold to the press all the notes that the star once sent him. But he “finished off” Madonna by releasing his biography, in which he described the history of their relationship in great detail, right down to intimacy.

The man was officially married three times. Annie Bakes became his first wife, she gave birth to Rodman's daughter Alexis. But their marriage did not last long.

No less shocking was the marriage with the model Carmen Electra. They were first spotted together in the spring of 1998. But then there was no question of any romantic relationship. Together they opened a restaurant in Montreal. And on November 14, 1998, it became known that the couple got married in Las Vegas.

But a week later, Carmen filed for divorce. What caused their separation is unknown. Rodman assured the public that he was drunk and not responsible for his actions. But some felt that there was assault in the relationship.

In 2003, Dennis married Michelle Moyer for the third time. It was the longest basketball relationship ever. In marriage, they had two children - son DJ and daughter Trinity. The problems started in 2008. Michelle wrote a statement to the police that Rodman was beating her. He was ordered to attend lectures on family relations for a year, was sentenced to community service and given 3 years probation.

The marriage was dissolved in 2012. Michelle went to court to collect child support from Rodman. At that time, he already owed $ 51 thousand. But the lawyer hastened to inform the judge that Rodman suffers from alcoholism and is bankrupt, he cannot afford such a sum.

In March 2013, Dennis Rodman participated in the HBO project "Vice", during the filming he visited North Korea, where he met at a gala dinner with Kim Jong Un.

In December 2017, the athlete announced that he wanted to organize a basketball match between the teams of the DPRK and the American island of Guam. According to him, this will help ease tensions between the two countries.

In January 2018, Rodman posted a video on Instagram where he talks about joining the 30 Days of Sobriety movement.

By the way, even in his account, Rodman continues to shock the audience - painted nails, bright outfits, parties with half-naked girls. Rodman is also part of the Prince Marketing Group and continues to tour the world with personal performances.
